New York City Mayor Eric Adams finds himself in the eye of a political storm as federal investigators continue their investigation into his 2021 mayoral campaign.
The FBI is now expanding its investigation into possible illegal foreign donations, focusing on Adams’ suspicious connections with at least six foreign countries, including Turkey, Israel, China, Qatar, South Korea, and Uzbekistan, the New York Times reported.
This revelation follows the July grand jury subpoenas issued to members of Adams’ inner circle and the dramatic November 2022 seizure of his electronic devices by FBI agents.
Investigators are particularly focused on whether the Adams administration was involved in pushing through a new high-rise Turkish consulate in New York despite glaring fire safety concerns.
